winsock

I've been looking at several tutorials and guides on using winsocks but they are all for windows api and i cant tear the code out from that to be able to make it a dos program if that makes since so if any one knows of a tutorial with dos sample coding

Do you mean "real" DOS, or a Windows Console DOS screen?

To use sockets in DOS you will have to find an old third party driver with documentation on how to use it. Or you could program your own version, although this is not a simple task, not impossible, but not simple.

For console mode I have no idea since I never program in this mode.

yes im sorry i did mean in console i program in it for my friends who run a business and need it for speed because they run really slow computers

.. console... means you can still use Winsock.
